Dimensiones Dela Cancha De Futbol De Salon
Futsal, commonly referred to as indoor soccer, is a popular small-sided sport played around the world. This fast-paced game is played on a hard surface with a smaller ball compared to outdoor soccer. The game requires a smaller playing surface, which is known as a futsal court. In this article, we will explore the dimensions of a futsal court in detail.
History Of Futsal
Futsal was first introduced in 1930 in Montevideo, Uruguay, by Juan Carlos Ceriani. It was initially played on a basketball court with modified rules. The game grew rapidly in South America, and the first Futsal World Cup was held in 1989.
Dimensions Of A Futsal Court
The standard dimensions of a futsal court are 40 meters by 20 meters (131 feet by 66 feet). The playing surface should be rectangular, and the length should be twice the width. The court's surface should be smooth, flat, and free of obstacles and should have a clear and distinct boundary line. The boundary lines should be at least 8 cm (3 inches) wide and of a different color than the rest of the court.
Goals
The goals on a futsal court are smaller compared to outdoor soccer. They are 3 meters (9 feet 10 inches) wide by 2 meters (6 feet 7 inches) tall. The goals are placed on the center of each end line and should be securely anchored to the ground to prevent movement during the game.
The Penalty Area
The penalty area on a futsal court is called the 'D-zone' and is located at each end of the court, in front of the goals. The area is rectangular and measures 6 meters (19 feet 8 inches) from the goal line and extends 6 meters (19 feet 8 inches) from each goalpost. The goalkeeper is the only player who is allowed to touch the ball with their hands in the penalty area. Other players are not allowed to enter the penalty area, except while taking a penalty kick.
The Center Spot And Second Penalty Mark
The center spot is located at the center of the court and is used to start the game and restart play after a goal has been scored. The ball must be kicked forward from the center spot. The Second Penalty Mark is placed 10 meters (32 feet 10 inches) from the goal line and is used for penalty kicks after the sixth accumulated foul is committed by a team.
Conclusion
Understanding the dimensions of a futsal court is essential for players, coaches, and referees. It is important to note that the dimensions may vary slightly depending on the regulations of the league or competition. However, the standard dimensions ensure a fair and enjoyable game for players and spectators alike.
